Cam Ward or Jameis Winston: who should I start in Week 3?

Where the draft room stands

Drafters have formed no consensus on Cam Ward: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 147th overall on the rest of his evidence.

In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 105.

Our board does not carry Jameis Winston at all right now: the consensus draft sample has dropped him and the sportsbooks have no priced market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.

What the sportsbooks price

The player markets price Cam Ward at 12.7 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 15 books. That is the 63rd highest figure of the 175 players the books price.

No sportsbook has posted a season market for Jameis Winston, so the only market pricing him on this page is the draft room.
